MSPmentor just published an article Mark Hurd: Oracle Accelerates Managed Services Push by Joe Panettieri. This is a web site www.mspmentor.com  I pay very close attention to. They have a real pulse of where the MSP market place is going.

My company Ntirety was one of the Original MSP to focus on Remote Database Administration, which we coined the term Database Administration As a Service®.  We have been providing Database Administration Cloud Services all over the globe before the term “Cloud Services” was commonly used.

Virtualization Tip: Comparing CPU’s

When working with virtualization technology, its important at times to understand what the physical configuration of the hosts is.  Some of the WOW features of VMware require that you have CPU’s of the same class. This free utility from www.cpuid.com called “CPU-Z” makes this a very easy thing to do.
